Cote d’Ivoire’s robust economy is expected to deliver strong economic growth, posting one of the fastest growth rates in Africa.

Oil & Gas Sector

Côte d’Ivoire has proven oil reserves estimated at 100 million barrels and gas reserves of 1 trillion cubic feet – with the potential to become a medium-sized offshore oil producer. The Government is keen to increase production and had launched various incentives to improve the investment climate, with tax breaks & investment credits. Cote d’Ivoire provides for three types of oil contracts, namely the concession contract, the production sharing contract, and the contract on services with risks.

Many lucrative deep and ultra-deep exploration blocks have been delineated and are now open for negotiation. There are attractive opportunities in exploration, supply and production. The oil & gas equipment market offers exciting opportunities for international service and technology suppliers.

“Ivory Coast has 48 demarcated oil blocks, of which four are in production and another 24 under exploration…. Output averages about 70,000 bpd, but “the potential is a lot higher” – Abdourahmane Cisse, Minister of Petroleum, Energy and Renewable Energy, Cote d’Ivoire.

Mining Sector

With a favourable mining code, yet largely untapped potential, Côte d’Ivoire has become an exploration hotspot in West Africa. In recent years many international companies have rushed in helping the country more than double gold production since 2012. With proven reserves of gold, bauxite, iron ore, nickel and diamond, Côte d’Ivoire’s growth potential is significant. Côte d’Ivoire has become very attractive for foreign investment over the past few years.

The Mining Code provides several incentives in regard to investments in the mining industry and establishes two mining regimes: • regime of mining license (research and exploration permit) • mining authorisation regime (focuses on reconnaissance, semi-industrial and traditional exploitation activities).

Define your growth strategies and build fruitful partnerships at one of West Africa’s leading economies. Cote d’Ivoire presents an exciting future! We look forward to meeting you at CIOGMI 2020.
